THE IRON WORKERS.
n Modified Scale Submitted which may
he satisfactory

be Satisfactory
PrTTsBURG, June 29.-The modified
scale of the iron workers was submitted
to the manufacturers committee this
afternoon. Nearly all the extras which
were tackled ON to- the scale were stricken
off, leaving simply the demand for an
increase of ten per cent. to puddlers and
tinishers. The manufacturers ask for
same classification for sheet mills as last
year. They also ask to have the twelve
inch mill scale and roll turner's schedule
stricken off. With these notifications
they say they will sign the scale. All
indications now point to an amicable adj
justment of the difficulties and that the
threatend strike will BE- averted. Every
thing was in readiness to shut down to-
morrow, but it is now believed that
work will go straight ahead until hot
weather forces a suspension.

Aiming ut Oklahoma.

A Fort Worth CTex. special says: A
well developed scheme to enter Oklaho-
ma by way of Texas came to light here
to-day. For several days J. $. Works,
known ell over the country as "Buck-
skin Joe, "has been here comforting with
the railway authorizes relative to taking
colony into the Northwest. Mr..
Works, in an interview to-day, said :
"This year we will settle III Texas as a
stepping-stone to Oklahoma. You will
be surprised at an early day to see the
crowds OF Oklahoma colonists that will
pass through Fort Worth" Mr.. Works
is the recognized successor OF Captain
Payne, the Oklahoma boomer, who
diedf two years ago. Certificates of
membership in this new colony have
been issued on the receipt of$5, each
holder OF certificate being entitled to
lot in the new colony. On this plea
o large sum OF money has been collected
in nine Intermediates. Mr.. Works says
they expect TO have not less than 1000
families when they get ready to settle,
which viii be in May. All these people
are farmers, and some are worth from
$40, 600 to $50, 200. This scheme is
identical with one founded a year ago
10y Works aided by Carlock. While
Works was in Kentucky drumming up
recruits, Carlock was arrested at Deni-
son by orders from Washington, but

and the fees therefor had been col
lected.
